We recently changed the eazyBI JIRA Role Access to make almost everyone a “User” as defined in the eazyBI documentation (see the link and image below). This was helpful because it keeps people from overwriting Reports that they did not create. The problem now is the User Role cannot create their own Dashboards (eazyBI JIRA), but have to wait until someone with “Reports admin” access is available to create a new Dashboard for them. My question: is there a way to give a “User” Role the ability to create their own eazyBI Dashboard?
That is correct observation. eazyBI account users with “user” roles can not create eazyBI dashboards.
Currently, there is no good possibilities to structurize eazyBI dashboards and users creating their own dashboards could lead to many dashboards in the account and we don’t want to allow that.
Instead, we would recommend perhaps creating a separate eazyBI account and giving higher roles to users in their accounts.
Note, that you can use Template accounts to import reports and calculations for users or user groups. Template accounts.
Also, eazyBI users can publish their reports on their Jira dashboards where their eazyBI can be inserted as gadgets.
I registered your idea in our backlog but I can’t promise any release dates for this change in eazyBI.
I have also run to a situation where it would be nice to have role something like “Dashboard Manager” that could create new dashboards but would not have full Report admin rights so that they could not edit or delete other person’s reports but could add them to their dashboard and then be able to set the common page filters.
The use case is such that currently I have created many eazyBI dashboards that I have published to Jira dashboards and then set the page filters to reflect the context of the Jira dashboard. For example, I have some eazyBI dashboards that are used across multiple teams and I have created a Jira dashboard for each team showing data from few eazyBI dashboards and also some individual eazyBI reports.
Now if the Jira dashboard admin would like to change the common page filters of the eazyBI dashboard (for example the fixVersion they want to monitor) that are used in the Jira dashboard, they always have to contact me as only I can permanently save the new page filters of a dashboard gadget in Jira.
Giving these persons full Report admin rights would be a bit dangerous as it is very easy to mess up with others reports if you start modifying a report thinking that you save it as a new report but accidentally save the changes to the old report. And also they might not fully understand the logic of creating common members and measures.
